Creator: Murphy, Stephanie M. & Baird, James L.
Description: This poster analyzes and identifies the poetic elements of The Beatles' lyrics from 1965 to 1970. The primary goal is to demonstrate that the band's lyrics are serious poetry, not merely performance. The author will review scholarly books and articles about The Beatles' role in popular culture and literature, as well as use the author's own knowledge of poetry to interpret the findings of her close analysis of individual Beatles' songs.

Date: 2010
Creator: Skinnell, Ryan
Description: This article discusses rhetorical moves in YouTube's archive. The rhetorical effects of YouTube may be usefully demonstrated by looking briefly at the effects of YouTube on the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign. Whether YouTube videos invigorated campaigns or damned them, it is clear from the 2008 campaign that YouTube videos have come to play a significant role in authorizing arguments in American culture.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton's 1854 "Address to the Legislature of New York" and the Paradox of Social Reform Rhetoric
Date: 2010
Creator: Skinnell, Ryan
Description: This article discusses Elizabeth Cady Stanton's 1854 "Address to the Legislature of New York." Elizabeth Cady Stanton is widely regarded as one of the most important women's rights orators of the nineteenth century. She is credited with opening new rhetorical spaces for women through brilliant rhetorical appeals. In her 1854 speech to the Legislature of New York, however, her brilliant rhetorical appeals were also appeals to the racist, classist, and paternalistic biases of her white male audience. A paradox of social reform is the need to simultaneously assert difference and sameness with the dominant classes, and Cady Stanton's efforts to negotiate this paradox ultimately reinforced the social hierarchy she hoped to undermine.

Factors That Affect Children's Literacy
Date: April 19, 2012
Creator: Bellotte, Amy & Eve, Susan Brown
Description: This poster discusses research on factors that affect children's literacy. Abstract: Reading is an essential skill for children to grow and develop as learners. Children's literacy is a topic that needs to be addressed in school systems as many children are at a disadvantage due to outside factors that affect their literacy, such as their parents' literacy. Illiterate parents can unintentionally create an environment where it is difficult for children to become literate. During this project, I have been researching factors that affect children's literacy. I have also been researching methods in which parents and educators can promote children's literacy. My research has consisted of studies and papers written by other researchers. In my research, I have discovered ways that teachers and illiterate parents can help to improve children's literacy.

Date: April 15, 2010
Creator: Dyer, Darby & Flowers, Theresa
Description: This paper discusses research on mental illness in literature. Abstract: This study examines mental illness in literature, with a focus on Charlotte Perkins Gilman's 'The Yellow Wallpaper' and Sylvia Plath's 'The Bell Jar', the primary texts of the research, and develops similarities and personal connections between the authors and their mentally unstable main characters. The study investigates the biographical aspects and mental health of the deceased women and thoroughly analyzes the time period of each author to demonstrate whether or not social status disparities could have been a reason for their deteriorating mental health. Both women committed suicide, though their literary accomplishments and societal effects allow them to live on.
